Where we areAnghiari
Founded in the 10th century, it has dominated the Valtiberina from its beginnings; even today it is possible to admire the great splendor of its strong surrounding walls already visible kilometers away. Remembering Anghiari only for the famous battle between the Grand Duchy of Tuscany, and the Visconti family of Milan, immortalized by Leonardo by Vinci, would be reductive.
The historic importance of the city and the enchanting panorama that visitors see as soon as they travel the route along the wall makes Anghiari a pleasant place for spending a peaceful and enjoyable day among the winding trails of the historic center, admiring balconies covered with flowers that give a touch of color to the city.
Every year Anghiari hosts the "Crafts Market and Exhibition" bringing together master artisans from the high valley of the Tevere.
